Installation
Guided Setup & Activation
Now that your receiver and equipment are all hooked up and plugged in, you’re ready to
finish all the details to begin receiving your DIRECTV service.
1) Make sure the MODE SWITCH on the remote control is set to DIRECTV.
2) Press TV POWER ON. The DIRECTV Receiver will turn on.
3) The first screen will allow you to select a language. Using the arrow keys on the remote control,
move to the language you prefer and press SELECT.
4) You will see a Welcome screen.
Now, let us lead the way…
Simply follow the onscreen directions to complete your setup functions. If you’ve installed your satel-
lite dish and system yourself, you’ll be guided though various functions for optimizing your signal and
setup — including positioning your dish and a system test. If, like most people, you had your system
professionally installed, these functions already have been completed.
Guided Setup & Activation
Important
In order to protect your TV screen from burn-in (a side-effect caused when a stationary image is displayed for too long),
the DIRECTV Receiver interface automatically goes into screen saver mode, and displays a black screen with a moving
logo when no key is pressed for 5 minutes or more while a stationary image is displayed on the TV. To dismiss the
screen saver and return to what you were doing, press any key on the remote. Burn-in may cause permanent damage to
your TV and DIRECTV is not liable for any damages that may be caused to your TV.
